It kinda makes sense that someone who used to own a suburban would watch shows and videos where you might see such vehicles. That's fun though. I often wonder if the old owners of these project vehicles you see on TV ever see them. Pretty cool.

I replaced the rear end in that truck with my friends, had the transmission rebuilt by a local shop and installed professionally after failing to get a decent transmission from the junkyard. That truck has so many awesome stories and memories made in it. Miss it every day.
I don’t mind see new faces that actually have mechanical skills, as long as none of the old hosts get screwed! I feel like we owe them respect because no matter how good we think we are, we all know they taught us a lot!

I have 2 1997 4wd suburbans. Can't kill them! Drove one through a hail of horizontal flying oak trees during a tornado several years ago. Just broke the grill and radiator, plenty of hail and flying, fallen debris I rammed over and through. Good times.

Just bought a '91 v1500 Suburban 6 weeks ago! Stoked to see this come together! Your skills, tools, knowledge, budget, and ESPECIALLY Brandon's hair, are all better than mine, but still lookin' for awesome ideas. Get it done so I can watch!
This is awesome! I'm currently building an 89 burb with 1 tons and getting ready to put together a 383 stroker! Subscribed and will be following the suburban build with anticipation 😎👍🍻
Years ago a man owned a Body Shop in Rialto...he had a Chevy Truck he went through his 350...cam headers and intake...HAULING A CAB OVER CAMPER ON TRIPS HE NETTED 18MPG outta that rig...AWSOME...Before...9 mpg...
Excellent so far! No bs, and great plan of attack. Going to cover a variety of educational techniques from setting up ring and pinion, to transmission assembly or my favorite.... engine tech. Very excited for this show Power Nation! Thank you very much!
Good show, much better than some of the previous ones. Camping rigs are all the rage, good first project. And Brandon seems like a youtuber, very modern and feels much less scripted and just know what they are talking about, give them more freedom as they will get more relaxed. To beat general youtubers youll need to let them just be real like a reality show.
This is awesome a dream build idea for yall ive always wanted to see someone build a late 95 to 99 suburban convert it to Dually and put a blown 572 in it 😀 big ol 8 71 sticking out hood
I had a 91' Blue/White burban, 6" on 35s and rebuilt the engine stroked it 388 ci. Twisted a few driveshafts, which snaps off the transfer case output. I drove back home from Silver Lake Sand Dunes with the front wheels. Also got towed back from Silver Lake because I forgot the 700R4 input shaft seal retainer clip, ya that is NOT optional, blew the seal out dragging a dead Jeep in the sand. All good times, she rusted out and had to let her go.
I drove a 74 c10 with a sb 350 with zero oil pressure for two weeks before it finally threw a rod, it was ok until i was late for work and pushed it over 100mph on the highway

Or an Om606? That'd be cool, with one of Aqualu's FJ45 style bodies that fit on the FJ80 chassis. It'd probably end up a pretty lightweight and slinky expedition rig on coils with the aluminum body and diesel straight six weighing less than a small block!

Gotta love the mud covered tires but the well cleaned underbody! I’m sure these dudes are used to working on filthy rigs - probably love doing stuff for video. Great channel!
Been hunting for a 4x4 diesel square burb for years (all rotted away or overpriced in Canada), to build as an overlander/camper. For now, I'll live vicariously through you guys!
Well you got my attention. As the owner of a 1994 K5 Blazer I can't wait to see what you do to this rig. I was also in the process of turning it into an outlander truck. I got as far as getting my 383 sbc in it. Suspension was next. However the project has stalled out. Hopefully I will get some ideas and inspiration from ya'll!. Good luck on the new show!
My project car was Project Crash Car, done with two model 1977 Pontiac Trans Ams painted to look exactly like the ones used in “Smokey and the Bandit“. Car one fell upside down and landed hard on the roof, bending the passenger side down. Car two fell and broke the driver’s mirror off. The two cars exchanged driver doors, finishing Project Crash Car. Car two’s dash now sits in the back seat.
Looking forward to the continuation of this build. I just picked up an 86 K20 suburban 4-spd that I plan to build for overlanding. It's in worse shape than what you guys are starting with here but already has better axles under it than the standard half ton units. I plan to keep it on leaf springs but want to put a 2-4" lift depending on how well 35's clear.
He just had to call it a "squarebody". As well, TBI small blocks in 1500 series GM trucks of that era had a 9.3:1 compression ratio and were rated at 210 horsepower, not 185.
@@EGGINFOOLS yeah! Don't you know that the boomers invented the automobile, the animals, and even the air that you breath?

@Leo Coffy Good for you. You don't represent the majority. Im not a millennial either but I see no matter the age of someone you just can't help that not everyone can spell. Good day
@@EGGINFOOLS No, GM never called them that. So, 2500 and 3500 truck and van 350s had a 8.6:1 compression ratio and were rated at 190 horsepower and 1500 350s horsepower ratings dropped to 200 in 1995.
At 16:39 ....box up that ladder-frame! As it stands, that is a two-dimensional structure. A two square foot piece of cardboard is a flimsy thing, glue it up in three-dimensions & it then becomes a vastly stronger thing. Build essentially a second ladder-frame extending a foot lower than the factory frame, use the 'second frame' as a point to build armor panels to protect all those vulnerable parts like...I dunno, that prop-shaft hanging down in the breeze?
Dana 70 and a kingpin front. Just so everyone knows that’s about 2000 to 2500 used for both I know because I bought a set off the marketplace 3 months ago for 2200.
The GM 10-bolts get a bad rap when in actuality, they're easily the equal of the Dana 44. Not really what you want for big tires on a Suburban, but they will surprise you. A really good option if you're looking at a lighter vehicle and want bigger tires and lots of aftermarket choices. The big GM 10-bolts mind you, not the crappy small ones that went in the S-trucks, Astro vans, Camaros, etc. Sad to hear they're keeping the SBC though. Really needs a diesel. Even if you wanted unbreakable on a budget, you can have a GM 6.5 that will bolt right up to either that 700R4 after a beefy rebuild, or just grab a Turbo-400 or 4L80E. Big block torque, decent fuel mileage and that engine will run for 500k miles if you don't go crazy with boost pressure. Or if you're rebuilding it anyway, get a set of 18:1 pistons, an intercooler setup and a mechanical marine injection pump. It will give you all the fuel you need for higher boost and more power while still being able to stay in safe limits.
I don't normally comment on you guys stuff but I gotta to this one. You off road guys provide me with a load of laughs, unbreakable?? Nothing is unbreakable. You take the vehicle off road an something breaks so you beef up the broken part (or system) then the next weaker thing in the chain breaks so then you beef up that. Then the next weaker item breaks & you beef up that, then the next weaker thing breaks, then...... and on and on. Eventually the first broken item is now the weakest thing & it breaks & the cycle starts all over. I have witnessed this first hand so don't deny that it happens. I find it extremely entertaining so knock yer selves out.
Tires are way too skinny and small. But I’ve been a fan of this body style every since I was born. Awesome show guys I’m a big fan! This is a dream build of mine.
One of these shows need to have a challenge The 5k challenge You only have 5k to both get a car and fix it up making it a show ready car under a budget of 5k It’s not the most difficult challenge but for them it always seems they spend so much money, so this will be a cool challenge that honestly a lot of car builders can do within reason

Never too young to start. I built custom soap box carts, push bikes, RC cars, RC planes and all of those things taught me skills I have used on vehicles.
love the old 87-91 R/V series suburban,owned quite a few only things i dont like are the 90'91 electronic speedos in order for it to work you need an adjustable drac unit so it can be adjusted and compensated for a lift and bigger tires and diffrent gears,If you own an 90/91 convert it to the 89 mechanical speedo with a cable you will thank me later
I can tell you my 1999 Suburban LT that I still absolutely love is absolutely breakable. The stupid electronic 4wd is always not working. And if it decides to work than a brake line will obviously start leaking.
Hope you keep postin this build. Its so much like my 71 Travelall its insane, i too am goin for ultimate reliability. Instead of 1tons im runnin JT Sport axles/susp. Max tire size will be 35s. Not sure on engine/trans yet, im torn not just between big block or small block but ford or chevy. The trans will be an eod auto, so either the 4l80e or e4od.
